Custom Center Caps for Porsche Wheel [from CAD, prototyping to finish] - Page 18 - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Fred, any thoughts about posting the STL files to thingiverse or somewhere else where we can buy them? I have aftermarket wheels on my 997.2 CS so the snap-on fingers will need to be modified but LOVE the design you have made.

Thanks in advance for your consideration.

I've actually made another 26 kits and got them out of anodizing literally 2 weeks ago to have them all confiscated by the local mafia. I call friend Andy and his friend "The Local Mafia". They do that... once they see something cool on the table, they occasionally nick the whole lot and resale overnight while I'm away. No idea how they do that but something tells me "its planned in advance". Hence the 'mafia' term.

Not the end of the world, frustrating, and I always end up being unfairly paid for the efforts lolll I'll be running another batch of those in a week time, thank god I kept a few crests. Waiting for the parts I'm turning now to complete and we'll roll. I'll update fellas

Ok okok. I'll do a a few kits this spring for you guys. Just waiting for the jobs that high-jacks my machines at the moment and off we go, car parts!!! Looking at mid-spring season guys, not before sadly, but I'll get a few kits done no worries there

Thanks for the pic, Steve. Looks amazing, and fast (the car, of course!)

When I bought mine I bought 4 extra crests from Fred, I'll send you one for the cost of shipping, send me a pm with your information. And I'll go down in the garage and make sure I can find them.

If anyone is interested I have a set of the original caps Fred Produced. Mine are Blue and have never been mounted. Still in Box and look like jewelry. I am using aftermarket wheels and they will not fit them. $185 delivered in US.
Thanks for looking

I'd like a set too, but unfortunately it seems that the originator of this thread and maker of the caps has not logged into this site since last October. Highly unlikely he'll see anyone on here asking for more anytime soon. Perhaps someone knows him outside the forum and can reach out to see if he's willing to make more as a business sort of venture? I'm thinking that's probably the only way anyone will reach him.

Thanks Doug. I appreciate the feedback. I am doing several things to my car and I was impressed with the center caps. Too bad he may not make any more. I guess I missed my opportunity. Thanks again.... David

I have a set of the originals in red still new in the box if some one wants them. $185 plus shipping.

Nine8Six (Fred) did a number of really cool things that he made available to us, but he had some personal matters to attend to and stopped participating. He resurfaced a few months ago but has gone quiet again. Some things I recall that he offered us were bi-xenon projector headlight kits, 2 different versions of the wheel center caps and a wind deflector that had a Porsche logo that lit up. He was last working on a dash mounted custom computer tablet that would install in the dash instead of a double din radio. Hopefully he will return one day!

For now the only way to get a set of the wheel center caps is if someone here offers a set for sale.
